Family Law
I have referred several family law clients and/or matters to Lisa Ann Sharpe, one of the partners at the law firm of Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson in Seattle, WA. Ms. Sharpe not only accepted my referrals, but I also heard back from the clients, all of whom were very pleased with her firm's work. I am very pleased to report that the lawyers within the firm to whom she assigned particular matters were also excellent, likely as a result of her training, management and oversight. From my experiences working with many family law firms nationally and internationally, my experience working with this firm was one of the best. Without question, I can endorse this firm as a worthy recipient of the designation Best Law Firms in America.

Closely Held Companies and Family Businesses Law
I have been a client of Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson for over five continuous years working with three attorneys specializing in estate probate. This is a large estate with very complex settlement issues, difficult personalities, and seven different attorneys. Multiple court hearings and law suits including appeals have complicated the issues. I have been just delighted with the responsiveness and often have felt that I am the only client they have. Phone calls, letters and emails are answered or returned almost immediately. The depth of knowledge involving law issues is remarkable. All attorneys have excellent memories for the details and have made qualified, knowledgeable, informed decisions leading to positive results. They are well-seasoned with outstanding judgement learned over the many years of practice. I am extremely pleased with the results they have accomplished and give my highest recommendations.

Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson has excellent expertise. We used them for: contracts, litigation, trial, real estate, employee affairs, and balance of corporate affairs - residential construction. Their preferred method of correspondence was email, in which they had a very timely turnaround. Their understanding was excellent, and their cost-effectiveness was good. Their civility was excellent beyond measure. I have referred many people to Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson.

Litigation - Trusts and Estates
I have worked most closely with Quentin Wildsmith at the Lasher firm. He is one of the finest, most skilled, and most effective lawyers in Seattle. I've referred clients and friends to him for years and have co-counseled with him on several matters. He's unfailingly ethical and and his written and oral advocacy are exceptional. He is also a master strategist who knows how to litigate aggressively and effectively, but is also sensitive to when a different approach would best serve his clients.
